That feeling of rootlessness, felt so distinctly on the train, had come back sharply, lodging itself in Grey's ribs. One moment in that little house by the lake, he had a home and he was loved. He was complete and knew a kind of happiness that he had never even known existed.
Then it was gone. Everything was gone, even the bracelet that Grey wore from Teleios was gone.
Now, he finds himself in a new strange place. Something like what he's used to, but with all new faces. Even though Grey is clean and there is food here, warmth and physical safety, he does not feel safe and he feels entirely and completely alone.
He doesn't try to reach out to anyone, he cannot speak and he doesn't try.
Because of this, he doesn't know that he has a room of his own. He wanders. Occasionally there is a face he thinks he knows, but otherwise, this is all strange.
He hates it.
Today, he wanders the halls of this strange place, shoulders stiff, chin up and defiant. He will not meet anyone's eyes, glancing at them fleetingly. Perhaps he thinks that he will see Cinna if he wishes hard enough for him. It's silly: childish, really. But he can't help it. Part of his heart is missing.
